Seamless Window Client Server for Cross-Desktop File Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties when working with multiple remote desktops, particularly in accessing and switching between them to manage files and applications, especially when one remote desktop is running slowly, and this issue is exacerbated by the lack of access to multiple monitors, such as when working from home or traveling.
Innovation Solution
A method that allows users to access and manage files and applications from a single remote desktop, enabling seamless launching and operation of applications installed on other remote desktops within a pool, by establishing connections between remote desktops and delivering outputs through a connection server and seamless window client/server system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users switch between multiple remote desktops to access files and applications, then they can access resources on different desktops, but the operation becomes complex and time-consuming due to frequent switching
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple remote desktops into a unified virtual desktop environment where files and applications from different remote desktops are accessible through a single interface. The seamless window system combines the functionality of multiple desktops, allowing users to access resources without switching connections.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a seamless window client/server system as an intermediary layer between the user and multiple remote desktops. This intermediary enables transparent access to files and applications across different remote desktops through a single connection, eliminating the need for direct switching between desktops.
2Ease of operation
If users use multiple monitors to work with multiple remote desktops, then they can view all desktops simultaneously, but the device complexity increases and is not always available
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes a single remote desktop connection universal by enabling it to access and display files, applications, and interfaces from multiple different remote desktops. The seamless window system provides multi-functionality, allowing one connection to serve multiple desktop environments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a spatial arrangement (multiple physical monitors) to a virtual dimensional arrangement where multiple remote desktops are accessible through a single connection interface. The seamless window system creates a virtual layer that organizes multiple desktop resources without requiring additional physical display devices.
3Adaptability or versatility
If users launch applications from one remote desktop that are installed on another remote desktop, then they can access applications across desktops, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service functionality where the seamless window system automatically handles application launching across remote desktops. When a user launches an application from one remote desktop that is installed on another, the system automatically establishes the necessary connections and manages the application execution without requiring manual configuration or complex user actions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing connection frameworks and application registration mechanisms between remote desktops. The seamless window system prepares connection pathways and application launch protocols in advance, enabling cross-desktop application access to occur smoothly when the user initiates a launch request.
Data Source
AI summary
Remote desktop services are accessed by a remote desktop from a pool of remote desktops. When the remote desktop detects a user request to launch an application and determines that the application to be launched is from another remote desktop, the remote desktop establishes a connection with the other remote desktop to launch and display the application seamlessly. In addition, the remote desktop retrieves drive configuration data indicating drives or folders that are shared by each of the remote desktops in the pool and creates a mapping of the shared drives and folders based on the drive configuration data. In response to a user request to open a shared drive or folder of the second remote desktop, the remote desktop establishes a connection between the first remote desktop and the second remote desktop to acquire contents of the shared drive or folder.
